I guess better may not be the word for it. However, being banned from Europe probably gives a sign on the state of the safety issues that Indonesian airlines face. "Safer" or more aware of what safety actually means, may well be the reason that we consider our Indonesian cousins to be more of a danger in the aviation industry.
Blame us all you like, being racist or whatever, but until Indonesian airlines are allowed back into Europe as well as a general clean up of the safety issues that Indonesian airlines face( not isolated to Indonesia, but clearly highlighted with the recent accident record) then unfortunately Indonesian pilots will have a bad rep.
